Please go ahead and merge your Elva with mine :-)

Greetings Kirby Wikitree-er,

You listed a "Family Bible" as a source for John/Johann Brendel-166. Would you be willing to post an image of the Bible record on WikiTree or at least quote the text or describe the exact item that is listed in the Bible: marriage? birth? death?

Thanks so much. Looks like we'll have to make a decision about the spelling of the name in our merging processes. We've got Brindle, Brendle, and Brendel.

Thanks, EM

Oh I'm notorious for going in, changing, and adding sources. I'm the one who kept removing James T (Lettie's gf) at FST as the son of Levi of Butts County. Twice!! I can prove he's not. if he's related to the Levi in Morgan Co. then we might have a clue to his parents. And if we can id who the son David Sutton is named for, I think we might hit paydirt. I'm not related directly to James T. I'm a Jester, 'nuff said. I know of at least 3 or 4 others who are. And I've worked with them in the 90s. And just to let you know my passion for the Jesters, I nearly went ballistic when I saw at another site they had Thomas as Levi Thomas, along with his brother Levi.

HI Renee, thank you so much for you prompt attention to Letty. I've removed myself as PM but left on the Trust list. A word of caution. We have to use real sources here, you can say this person is the same as person on X site, like you have the FSTID. But you cannot use the FS Tree as the source. And be careful using FSTIDs because someone can come along and merge profiles there, and the ID is no longer valid. Here, the number on your Letty even tho merged will redirect to the lower number. Which is why we merge into the lower numbers. I prefer using FS for sources, actually you only need the citation, but I like adding the household members so we can note changes in the family.

At birth, my first name was Vicki, which I later dropped legally.

Hi Renee,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or special event. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.

Let me know if you have trouble finding projects which fit your focus. Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page.
